Hello, I created a model of a multi-storey building and I find that the results are not the expected of a traditional static analysis for the beams that are supported by columns and walls because the shortening of axial column invests efforts in the M-V diagrams.
This happens because the...
Hi:
I'm generating a building model with several walls in Etabs.
I need the joint compatibility in the intersections of the walls to have the same vertical displacement .
In Sap2000 exists the "constraint joints" that makes this,but Etabs don't have this tool.
I make a partial solution...
Hi, I don't understand why tha ACI Code takes the value of
d= 0.8Lw to evaluate the Shear forces in a RC wall.
(See Code ACI 318-95 Chap.11.10.4)
In a wall with Lw=5,0 mts. you cannot loose 1,0 mt of wall capacity to resist the shear forces.
Can someone tell me the reason of this?
Hi, I'm doing a program in VB6 for R/C Walls Design using ACI 318 Code.
My problem is where I'can find the formulas to solve the Bending and Tension Interaction.
If anybody kwnows it please answer me.
Thanks :)
Hi:
I use Sap2000 to design RC elements but I don`t know how to use the Forces and Moments when my model of a slab is a shell.
I only use the output data to evaluate the displacements but I need design the reinforcement too.
Therefore , where I can get the tables of coefficients developed by...
